Hey, Joe ... who are you calling a "southern snob" ???

=0/

[NoMercy]

I rarely have leftovers, as I only really cook small meals. Anything that's left is always gratefully received by the 4-legged one.

[boxtops]

JJ's only a bit along the coast from me, people who live in Brighton have very eclectic tastes, I used to live there myself.

[boxtops]

How is the 4-legged one NoM, has he bucked up yet?

[joggerjayne]

"eclectic" ?

Nous ?

[NoMercy]

He's fine thanks, Boxy. I think he was just a tad homesick. Also, if the weather's bad and he can't get out for a good walk, he does tend to get very sulky and depressed.

[joeluke]

What's eclectic?

[boxtops]

There you go
http://dictionary.ref...e.com/browse/eclectic

[joggerjayne]

eclectic could be ...

... cosmopolitan, or

... trying too hard to be different, or

... a bit pretentious, or

... outsiders think you are weird

That sort of thing. I'll run with cosmopolitan.

[joggerjayne]

So ... we are eclectic ... except for food made from leftovers.

[joeluke]

Varied in plain English then

[boxtops]

Yup, but posher

[joggerjayne]

Not many parts of Brighton could be called "posh" !

"Cheesey" "tacky" and "rough" are more usual adjectives.

[lardhelmet]

And much more attractive ...

[joggerjayne]

(those are the adjectives used by the residents of Hove, Actually, to describe Brighton)

[joeluke]

but not eclectic enough to have faggots with bubble and squeak though

[joggerjayne]

No, joe ... not THAT eclectic !
